Animal Research and Care Facility Project #203928

October 2015 Project Manager: Kurt Jensen

Construction Manager: Jeff Angeley

PROJECT DESCRIPTION In 2010, the University of Washington identified the need to develop future facilities capable of supporting the UW’s commitment to outstanding research, education and animal care. Also identified was the need to increase the animal census at the UW and to implement a centralized operating model for animal care and procedures. As a result of the UW’s Animal Care Facilities Master Plan Feasibility Study, it was recommended the UW construct a new Animal Research and Care Facility (ARCF). This project is intended to provide a capacity solution for UW animal research for the next ten years.

The feasibility study identified a site in the Portage Bay Vista, just east of the William H. Foege Building, for a new, state-of-the-art ARCF. The concept plan for this facility is a two-story, below-grade building, connecting to both the Foege building and Hitchcock Hall at the first level below grade. The building will provide flexible housing

for large and small animals (principally rodents) and non-human primates. The study also identified a preliminary program of space types, including laboratories, procedure rooms, imaging facilities; cage and equipment wash facilities, storage, and other support spaces. The planned size of the ARCF is 83,000 gross square feet (GSF). The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer-Gunsul-Frasca (ZGF) of Seattle, Washington and Flad Architect of San Francisco, California. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, located in Seattle WA. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project team has recovered the entirety of previous schedule delay (due to the site ground water, the soil condition impacts to the installation of the shoring and underpinning piles, and the removal of a previously undiscovered underground storage tank and associated contaminated soils). The team continues to work to minimize impacts associated with the resultant extra work activities by utilizing overtime allowances where appropriate for value-added opportunities to re-sequence the work. For example, a revision to the installation plan for under slab piping and structural matt foundation assembly is responsible for a significant portion of the schedule recovery. Work Accomplished This Period The structures and waterproofing phase of work has commenced. The horizontal rat slabs, waterproofing and protection slabs are in place throughout the building footprint. The structural mat foundation installation in the first zone is complete. The

work on the columns and reinforcing continues in the first and second zones. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination efforts continue, along with MEP and vivarium equipment submittals processing in order to support the ARCF prefabricated building components, detailing, and the procurement activities.

The project team has been reviewing and responding to the bid and procurement activities and working with the management team on budget control strategies.

Plans for Next 30 Days The project structural and waterproofing phase work will continue. The mat foundation is separated into four zones and will be worked in a counterclockwise sequence. The planning for both occupant and contractor operations and logistics at Foege, Hitchcock, J, K, and I wing loading dock will continue. The redesign of the landscape and site work to reduce the cost of that scope will continue and new bid documents will be issued.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview There is no change to the project budget. However, the ARCF GC/CM’s scope of work has been modified to construct a new section of utility tunnel in order to support the distribution of utilities from the new West Central Utility Plant (West CUP). This work also includes replacing the existing PCB-contaminated transformers in Hitchcock Hall. This added work can be most cost-effectively delivered by the ARCF project, and additional funding from other UW sources will be provided to cover the cost. The cost of the additional scope of work is carried in other project budgets and is not included in the budget forecast below. We recently opened bids on a revision to a portion of the interior finishes and have realized substantial savings due to the changes the team has made to the design.


4

CHANGES IN SCOPE The ARCF GC/CM is now under contract to construct a new section of utility tunnel to provide a new pathway from the West CUP to the ARCF project and other buildings in the Magnuson Health Sciences Center. It is anticipated that the ARCF GC/CM will also install connecting utilities in the new tunnel section. The GC/CM will also replace existing PCB contaminated transformers in Hitchcock Hall. It has been determined that both of these scopes of work can be best coordinated with the ARCF site logistics and performed most cost effectively by the ARCF GC/CM. BUYOUT STATUS

Submittals to Date (not including LEED) 314 12.5 days OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The site has subsurface water runoff from upper campus, and much of the finished building will be below the water table. This will require special consideration by the design team relating to the building envelope and waterproofing systems, as well as additional efforts by the contractor during construction. The sloping site provides opportunities to bring natural light into the facility at strategic locations to improve the work environment for the staff. The below-grade construction will connect to the Foege Building, the Foege loading dock, and potentially Hitchcock Hall. The project team will need to address the potential impact on these existing buildings and associated operations during construction. The air intake locations and building exhaust is a challenge with a below-grade building. The building design must respect long-term plans for expanding the underground facility and for a future above-grade building adjacent to Hitchcock Hall. The facility design will need to be flexible to adapt to future trends in animal research and to changing regulatory requirements. It will be challenging to find the right balance between optimum flexibility and project budget constraints. This project also presents opportunities to enhance and enliven the Portage Bay Vista open space that will be restored following the building construction and to improve the connection across NE Pacific Street to the upper campus. The project is facing budget challenges due to the active Seattle construction market and bidding climate. Skanska and the project team are actively monitoring the situation and working with subcontractors to encourage broad subcontractor participation and competitive bidding.

Bothell Activities and Recreation Center Project #203835

October 2015 Project Manager: Eric McArthur

Construction Manager: Jeff Johnson

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will construct a new Student Activities Center (SAC) at UW Bothell (UWB) to provide spaces for food service, student leadership offices and clubs, fitness and recreation, casual study, and, potentially an events center. The facility will serve both UWB and Cascadia College. UWB has a growing enrollment of over 4,200 students (3,800 FTE) and has rapidly evolved into a four-year institution after initially accepting only upperclassmen and graduate students. The campus has opened its first student housing facility. The newly leased and renovated spaces in both the Beardslee Building and Husky Hall have further expanded the campus footprint. Given the enrollment growth and expanded facilities, the student population is currently underserved by traditional campus amenities, such as a student union building and fitness facilities. The proposed building is to be located immediately south of (and connected) to the existing North Creek Events Center (NCEC), and will be approximately 35,000 gross square feet (gsf).

PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project was slightly over budget prior to buying out the work, and it was hoped that favorable bid results would make up for the estimated overage. Unfortunately, the buyout results added to the overage, and UWB and Cascadia College (CC) students and administration were advised that either additional funds would be required to deliver their intended scope, or the scope would need to be reduced. Further, the bid scope included elements added to the construction project in lieu of being provided separately, and the project budget needed to be adjusted to reflect those costs. The administration, UWB and CC students agreed to fund up to the revised forecast. CPO focused the team on managing construction to minimize the use of the construction contingency. That effort has born fruit and with construction complete, the construction contingencies have covered the added cost of construction. The student funds will be used to cover scope that was for student-requested items that were purchased through the construction contract. Utilizing these two sources, the project will be delivered on time and on budget.

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor Phase I Campus Reach Project #203801

October 2015 Project Manager: Victoria Morris

Construction Manager: Jeff Johnson

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor (BGTC), constructed in 1978, is a rails-to-trails bicycle and pedestrian thoroughfare that runs through the Seattle Campus west of Montlake Boulevard and north of NE Pacific Street. The trail is widely used by bicycle commuters coming to the University and passing through campus, and it serves as the backbone of a regional bicycling and pedestrian network in the northern part of Seattle. These multiple uses and cross-traffic between the campus community and the BGTC create conflicts and safety issues that need to be addressed for effective pedestrian and bicycle movement on and around the trail. The number of users on the trail has far exceeded initial projections. The Phase I, Campus Reach, Project which will improve the trail from a point just west of the Rainier Vista to the east side of the 15th Avenue NE intersection of the University-owned portion of the BGTC. The construction will begin on October 12th, 2015 with a Ground-breaking ceremony held by Transportation Services on Oct. 6, 2015.

Schedule Variance This project is behind the revised schedule with construction scheduled for completion in early June, 2016. Work Accomplished This Period A Notice-to-Proceed was issued to C.A. Carey, with a start date of October 12th, 2015. An updated easement was finalized with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) and UW related to the 12” gas line along the Lewis Lane Bridge. The construction fencing was installed around the site with heavy equipment mobilized for demo/excavation scopes. The clearing and grubbing is in process, but only in areas of immediate work to minimize the erosion control measures required during wet weather. The construction communication outreach regarding trail closure and detours has been updated on both the CPO and Transportation Services websites.


17

Plans for Next 30 Days The closure of the Burke-Gilman trail between 15th Ave. NE and the Rainier Vista is complete with detour signage and pathway identification posted. The construction work will continue with for demolition, clearing and grubbing as well as deep utility work by the Hitchcock Bridge. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The original project budget for Phase I design and construction was estimated at $4.73 million, as part of the larger previous project that included the design of phase 2. The current cost forecast is $6.2 million, which is approximately 30 percent over budget. The elements of the increased project cost include; higher than anticipated costs for the base scope of work, redesign costs, bicycle shelter and enclosures, ADA upgrades, and escalation. The funding for this project is provided by UW Transportation Services (UWTS). With $3 million in federal grant funding, UW Transportation Services has confirmed that additional funding will be provided to cover the higher estimated project cost. The current funding is $6.2 million.

The reduction in funding and costs to date in July 2015 reflect separating the design costs for Phase 2 into a separat project.

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Completing this work will provide a tremendous asset to the University with improved safety and mobility along the trail. The delay in bidding and the late bidding in the season will shift more work into the wet season and increase the construction duration. It is anticipated that the wet weather will lower productivity and the weather may delay the work further, increasing costs. The outreach and logistics remain a high priority based on the volume of pedestrian traffic anticipated in south campus with the closure of Hitchcock Bridge.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The Board of Regents (BOR) approved a project budget of $28.5 million in May 2012 with the understanding that this preliminary budget may change following completion of the schematic design phase. The administration committed to returning to the BOR for final budget approval prior to the start of construction. The predesign study indicated all of the planned scope may not be achievable within the available funding, which was later confirmed. The cost reduction alternatives have been developed through value engineering (VE). The project team agreed to accept the majority of the VE recommendations, resulting in a total project cost forecast and new target budget of $31.5 million. At the end of the design development (DD) phase, the cost estimate, along with code interpretations from the City, showed that the anticipated VE cost savings could not be fully realized. In addition, the result of the field investigation by the MC/CM and the Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (EC/CM) subcontractors discovered additional information that has also added to the estimated construction cost. The estimated total project cost at the end of the DD phase was approximately $38 million. The project scope has now been significantly reduced and the new cost estimate and budget forecast is $37M.

CHANGES IN SCOPE No changes in the scope this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES This project presents an opportunity to improve the quality and reliability of the mechanical and electrical systems supporting the cleanroom and laboratory uses as well as reduce the ongoing facility operations and maintenance costs. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the collaborative GC/CM process during design and construction enhance the opportunity for the design team to maximize the project scope, quality, and schedule to avoid changes during construction. The challenges include successfully implementing the scope and cost reduction measures required to bring the project cost within budget. The requirement for the existing occupants to remain in the building during construction is a significant challenge for the design team and the contractors. Developing a phasing plan and strategy to allow for continued operation of the labs and cleanrooms during the renovation is complicating the design and puts added pressure on the project budget and schedule. The continuing schedule delays are increasing the risk that uncertain market conditions and escalating construction costs will further impact the project budget.

October 2015 Project Manager: Will Sigman

Construction Manager: Steve Folk

Perspective of Maple Hall, looking toward northwest from Lincoln Ave PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project scope includes demolition of the existing Center Building and Terry Hall and the construction of two new residential buildings named Maple and Terry Halls. The new seven-story buildings will include five stories of housing consisting of two-bedroom suites with private bathrooms. The lower two floors of each building will be occupied by Housing and Food Services (HFS) administrative offices, common space for students, and some additional two-bedroom suites. A below-grade parking garage connecting to the Lander Hall garage and loading dock will extend below Maple and Terry Halls. The new facility will total 390,000 gross square feet and provide 1,090 beds. The sustainability goal is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification. Originally, Terry Hall and the 1101 Café/Center building located on NE Campus Parkway, immediately west of Lander Hall were planned as a renovation. The buildings were constructed in 1952 and needed substantial infrastructure replacement and improvements. The costly seismic and infrastructure upgrades, as well as the current high-rise code requirements, demonstrated that new construction would be a more cost-effective option. This change also presents an opportunity to

Life Sciences Building Project #204746

October 2015 Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Life Sciences Building (LSB) project will provide new laboratory and office space to allow the Department of Biology to increase its faculty size to meet major increases in undergraduate student demand. In addition, a new greenhouse of approximately 18,000 gross square feet (GSF) will be constructed as part of the LSB project. The project site is a combination of existing greenhouses and landscaped area located east of Kincaid Hall, and the area bounded by NE East Stevens Way to the north, the landscaped area just north of the MHSC T-Wing overpass, and the Burke Gilman Trail to the south. The existing greenhouse and associated buildings will be demolished and the LSB of approximately 193,600 GSF will be constructed on the site. The LSB will have five floors above grade with a mechanical penthouse and two below-grade floors to support up to 40 principal investigators with laboratory space, associated offices and conference spaces, three authentic undergraduate research/teaching laboratories, growth chambers, and animal care facilities. The LSB, together with a new, larger greenhouse, which will replace the current 65-year old greenhouse, offers the Department of Biology and its faculty the opportunity to take its truly integrated approach to Biology and its highly collaborative culture to a new level. The LSB allows Biology the opportunity to hire 10-12 new faculty members

and strengthen key areas of interdisciplinary research by bringing together faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates with overlapping research interests. Perkins + Will is the project architect, Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) is the Landscape Architects, and Skanska USA is the General Contractor / Construction Manager (GC/CM). All firms are located in Seattle, Washington. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project is on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The design development documents were distributed for project stakeholder review and the comments were returned to the design team as planned. The cost estimates and reconciliation of the project scope with the project budget began. The preliminary subcontract buyout plan, negotiated support service, and logistics plan were prepared by Skanska and reviewed by the University. The presentation for the Board of Regents October meeting was finalized. The project schedule was refined using a Pull Planning session.


39

Plans for Next 30 Days The Design Development (DD) phase of the project will conclude and the Construction Document (CD) phase will begin. The DD phase cost estimate will be reconciled with the project scope. The conformed DD phase documents will integrate all UW Stakeholder review comments, constructability comments by Skanska, McKinstry, and VECA. The elevator, greenhouse, fire sprinkler and curtain wall subcontract bid packages will be finalized for advertisement in December 2015. The sub contract bid package buyout plan, negotiated support services and logistics plan will be finalized. Skanska, P+W, and AECOM weekly cost log meetings will focus on reconciling the design development cost and the budget control log. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) phase of the project will continue with Skanska, McKinstry, and Veca leading the process. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current project forecast is $164.755 million of which $4.1 million has been funded. The increase in the project forecast by $4.25 million is for the additional space and infrastructure for the growth chambers. The increased forecast was approved by the Administration and will be presented to the Board of Regents in October.


40

CHANGES IN SCOPE The additional scopes of work include: changes to the mechanical systems for improved long term cost savings, flexibility, and occupancy comfort; expanded utility infrastructure and increased building size to support additional planned growth chambers; an additional learning space; and shelling an electron microscope and low vibration room. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The building was sited to preserve the deodar cedars along East Stevens Way NE (Stevens Way) and the grove of trees adjacent to Garfield Lane between Stevens Way and the Burke-Gilman trail. These trees are significant and are character-defining features of the site. An opportunity to enhance pedestrian access includes improvements to the Lewis Lane pedestrian path from Stevens Way to the Hitchcock Overpass on the east side of Kincaid Hall. The integration of the LSB and greenhouse within the existing campus connectivity is being designed. Other opportunities include integrating the Life Science Building with the greenhouse and the Burke Gilman Trail improvements into a cohesive plan. Maintaining the project cost within the forecast budget will be a challenge given the tight market place for construction.

NanoEngineering & Sciences Building Project #204878

October 2015 Project Manager – Eric McArthur

Construction Manager – Mark Sweeters

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Nano Engineering & Science Building (NESB) project will consist of a new, approximately 78,000 gross square foot, 6-story building adjacent and connected to the existing Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building (MolES) on the main University of Washington campus. The project was initially established to construct a warm shell building and complete the build-out of 13,000 assignable square feet (asf) to accommodate the research on campus affected by the tunneling and operation of the Sound Transit light rail tunnel. The first floor of 12,000 gross square feet will be constructed as a warm shell for anticipated future completion for academic general purpose use. This warm shell work will be funded by Central Funds. To offset this loss of floor space, the currently designed basement level floor will expand to the north and add 9,000 gross square feet of ground contact area. In the September 2015 Board of Regents meeting, the project was authorized to build out the remaining portion of Level G, 3 for College of Engineering vibration and EMI sensitive programs, and Level 4 to expand the Institute for Protein Design currently housed on Level 4 of MolES. The current projected assignable square feet will be 45,000 when complete in 2016.

The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer-Gunsul-Frasca (ZGF) of Seattle, Washington and Flad Architect of San Francisco, California. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Hoffman Construction Co, located in Seattle WA. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

SCHEDULE VARIANCE The substantial completion has a current contract date of November 1, 2016. The GC/CM is currently showing a variance of 8 days on the construction schedule due to sequencing issues during the excavation and shoring of the below-grade work as well as excessive rain on 8/14/2015 which impacted the site excavation. All trades suspended work that afternoon and the following Saturday was used to dewater the site. The GC/CM is currently working on resequencing the work to bring the schedule back into alignment. The rain incident will be tracked throughout construction to determine if a contract day is required to be added to the construction contract. WORK ACCOMPLISHED THIS PERIOD With the exception of the lab casework, all remaining bid packages have been bid during this period. An amendment to incorporate these bids is currently being prepared.


58

The ground floor slab has been placed on the east side. The work continues to be scheduled to accommodate the research taking place in the adjoining Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building with the contractor bringing forces in at 4am and suspending operations by 3pm. This follows the agreement between the construction team and the MolES researchers established to end disruptive construction activities by 3 pm each day and to resume no earlier than 8 pm in the evening. PLANS FOR NEXT 30 DAYS The design work continues on the expanded scope of work to plan out the fit-out of levels G, 3, & 4. The design team is facilitating planning sessions with the College and the IPD. This design and documentation work will continue through the end of the year.

The construction activities are continuing on the lower level and level G. The basement and remaining portion of the ground floor slabs will be poured and the remaining walls will be backfilled to grade.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current budget and forecast cost is $81.9 million, with $28.9M to cover the prior budget shortfall and the expanded scope. Currently, $53 million is in hand. The most recent bidding has been on budget. The project team continues to review opportunities for cost reduction while still maintaining the approved project scope.


59

CHANGES IN SCOPE The Board of Regents approved the following at their September 2015 meeting:

1. The ground floor and floor 3 will be fully built out to house research space for the College of Engineering. Level G will accommodate vibration and EMI-sensitive equipment, and associated support spaces. Level 3 will include laboratory space for both wet and dry research and is designed to be shared by multiple faculty members/research groups. Level 3 will also provide office and support space for 6 faculty members along with their associated students/researchers.

2. The full build-out of Floor 4 will house the Institute for Protein Design – The layout and build-out will generally replicate that of Floors 2 and 3.

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The construction market is currently experiencing increased escalation and volatile market conditions as the Seattle economy continues to boom. This climate is straining the construction labor pool and limiting the pool of bidders able to perform the work. This project, like others locally, is seeing younger craft labor on the jobsite, which can affect the quality of work and the project schedule. The Construction Manager is aware of this and is actively monitoring and working with their subcontractors to manage this issue. These market conditions are also significantly impacting the bid results of the project.

The site is restricted and will be affecting vehicular circulation around the site. The tight fence boundaries and the increasing number of students that flow through this area of the campus present a challenge to the contracting team to preserve safety while still maintaining traffic and the ingress of materials. A UWPD officer has been retained to help direct traffic through the Grant Lane and Stevens Way intersection. This is the primary point for materials to enter the site and is also where most pedestrian traffic will cross.

New Burke Museum Project #203007

October 2015 Project Manager: Eldon Tam/Ken Kubota

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will construct a new Burke Museum located along NE 15th Ave NE to the west of the existing Burke Museum within a development site identified in the UW Campus Master Plan. The new museum will be approximately 110,000 gross square feet with three-stories and a partial daylight basement. This project will replace the existing Burke Museum, constructed in 1962. This project will address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing building, which are no longer adequate to meet the programmatic vision, capacity for research collections, public outreach, and education missions of the Burke Museum. The new building will celebrate the museum’s goals to foster understanding and inspire wonder about the Northwest and our place in the world. It will emphasize the power of object-based learning to inspire curiosity, generate new knowledge, foster understanding of the role that collections play in our shared natural and cultural heritage, and highlight the connection between people and the environment in every aspect of the museum, from research, exhibits, and programming to the museum’s building, grounds, and business practices. The project is expected to result in an architecturally noteworthy facility that: 1) enables the Burke to simultaneously protect and share collections that constitute the natural and cultural heritage of the people of Washington state; 2) facilitates

New Burke Museum, #203007

63

meaningful visitor engagement with Burke Museum research and collections; and 3) creates a valued public amenity that connects the community to both the mission and campus of the University of Washington. The project will also address issues of long-term flexibility in the design of galleries and public spaces, and will implement sustainable design practices to achieve a facility that functions efficiently and can be maintained with limited resources. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum is an aspirational certification goal. Accessibility will be integrated into the new facility to provide ADA compliance. The project architect is Olson Kundig Architects (OKA), Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) is the Landscape Architects, and Skanska USA is the General Contactor/ Construction Manager (GC/CM), all are located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Receiving less than the full amount of state funding needed from the 2015 legislative session delayed the start of construction. The University is now targeting a summer 2016 groundbreaking, pending Regents’ approval and fundraising status. Schedule Variance The project design was put on hold pending resolution of the timeline for groundbreaking. The project is coming off hold status in November 2015. There is funding to consider constructing the shell & core portion of the building now and consider the tenant improvement later when additional funding is available.


64

Work Accomplished This Period OKA and Skanska were placed on hold for the month of October pending resolution of project timeline. The Master Use Permit process is near completion with issuance expected in November 2015. A decision to consider moving forward with the shell & core portion of the new building was made as there is enough funding in place. OKA was authorized to produce permit drawings and to submit for the building permit. Plans for Next 30 Days The project will restart in November. A revised project schedule will be developed looking toward a permit submittal in January 2016 and a start of construction on July 1, 2016. Skanska will complete constructability reviews. OKA will address Process Partners 50% CD reviews. OKA will restart the process for completing the building permit submission. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The legislature approved $26 million of the $46.2 million of state funding needed for the project. The University has submitted a request for the 2016 legislative session for the remaining funding. If the funding is not approved a new funding request will be submitted for the 2017 biennium request. The language in the 2015-17 biennium budget recognizes the need for increased project funding due to a delayed start date.


65

CHANGES IN SCOPE None anticipated this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Matching the project timeline to the timeline for securing state funds is a challenge. The private fundraising and fundraising from other sources has strong momentum. It will be a major challenge to plan for the displacement of staff and collections during the transition phase when they move from the existing facility into the new building. The project budget did not support Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification; the project team will continue to work towards a LEED Gold certification. The project will meet LEED Silver certification standards at a minimum.

North Campus Student Housing Project #204350

October 2015 Project Manager: Victoria Morris and Shane Ruegamer

Construction Manager: Steve Folk

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The North Campus Student Housing project Phase IV (will replace McCarty Hall with three buildings, identified as buildings B, C and D with occupancy planned for the start of Autumn Quarter 2018. The construction typology of buildings B, C, and D will be 5-stories of wood-frame construction above a two-story concrete podium. The steeply sloped site makes it challenging to achieve the desired 1,870 beds programmed for these buildings. The lower concrete levels of the building will include residence hall amenities such as entry lobbies, regional desk, dining, game center, and meeting rooms. The upper wood framed levels will be residential suites with private or communal bathrooms. The landscape improvements include internal courtyards, a central urban plaza, an entry court, new and refreshed pedestrian access and circulation from the north, south, east and west. There will be open spaces for wide- ranging passive and active recreational uses, and the relocation of a portion of Whitman Court roadway. The cumulative changes are designed to create a new character for this part of the

North Campus Housing, #204350

67

campus that retains the woodland nature of the existing area. It will be better served by connections within it and connecting to the broader campus. The project is targeting, at a minimum, a Silver level certification for new construction through the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED). Kieran Timberlake is the architect, Olin Studios is the Landscape Architect, both are of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and W.G. Clark of Seattle is the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Phase IV (a)

Schedule Variance None, the project remains on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The Design Development (DD) phase continued with KT/OLIN exploring various programmatic revisions to meet overall budget. Plans for Next 30 Days The design development phase continues with refinement to program elements, building fenestration studies, material selections and site landscape refinements. The demolition and early works permit packages are being compiled for submission on November 4th to the City of Seattle. The construction fencing and security will be installed around McCarty in anticipation of the scheduled 1st responder training starting the week of November 16th. The project will be presented to the Board of


68

Regents as an informational item in preparation for presentation on January for funding, budget, and site approval. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project forecast is $240 million. The current funding is from HFS reserves, the remainder of the funding will be from the Internal Lending Program (ILP). The ILP will be paid from HFS revenues.

CHANGES IN SCOPE Not applicable at this time. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The early selection of the general contractor along with early selections of the mechanical and electrical subcontractors, follow the successful format of the design participation that occurred on the West Campus Housing projects. This early involvement has proven to enhance the 3D modeling and coordination of the design.


69

The project will be challenging with the cost of construction increasing and shortages of qualified craft trade workers to construct the project due to the increase in construction activity in the Seattle area. It is an exciting opportunity to create a new vision for the residential housing village for this part of the campus that retains the woodland nature, which better serves internal and external connections to the campus and the connecting community.

UW Police Department Facility Project #203612

October 2015 Project Manager: Ken Kubota

Construction Manager: Jeff Huebler

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will provide a new upgraded University of Washington Police Department (UWPD) facility in a more central location that will facilitate greater accessibility to the University community. The project site is just south of Gould Hall, occupying a portion of the W14 Parking Lot and the 3945 and 3937 buildings on 15th Avenue NE. The building will be located in the growing and increasingly lively west campus and near a primary campus entrance; the site offers improved visibility and access to the police station. The approximately 29,000 gross square foot building is envisioned to be architecturally significant, with a program that features to support a modern and highly capable UWPD operation for decades to come. The conceptual design envisions a two-story building with a basement level. The program includes; police offices, a dispatch and communications center, records storage, evidence room and lab, suspect processing, interview rooms, report taking rooms, juvenile waiting rooms, police lockers, fitness rooms, a community multipurpose meeting/training room, and fleet parking. The project sustainability goal is to achieve Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification.

SAFETY STATISTICS








OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The UW Police Department facility is one of the few buildings on campus that is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week. This project will make the UW Police Department more visible, as many students, faculty, and staff do not know its current location at the Bryants Building. The design team and the contractor are managing the project to stay within the available budget. Just south of the UWPD site is the site of the separate West Campus Utility Plant (WCUP) project that will require close coordination. The WCUP project is no longer providing the emergency power to the UWPD. The WCUP project is funding the emergency power coming from the West Receiving Station. The increasing construction costs as well keeping the project on budget will be challenging.

UW Tacoma Urban Solutions Center Project #204701

October 2015 Project Manager: Jeannie Natta

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The former Tacoma Paper and Stationery Building is the last of the historic large warehouse buildings on the UW Tacoma campus to be renovated. The building features a 10,000 gross square foot daylight basement and three upper floors for a total of 40,000 gross square feet. The building has been unoccupied other than for storage uses and by the Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant, which has been a mainstay in downtown Tacoma for decades and which will be moving to a nearby location. Consistent with its mission as an urban-serving university, the UW Tacoma seeks to renovate this building to further preserve the historic fabric of its downtown Tacoma environs, and to ultimately house programs in the building which bring together academic, commercial, non-profit, government, and student entities in one place to study, research, analyze, debate, and develop solutions for a variety of issues in the South Sound region. Originally, the project was to be completed in two phases: (1) a ‘warm shell’ and core renovation, (2) a full build-out of the interior space. Driven by UW Tacoma’s current projections of 4%-6% student growth per year, the UW Tacoma Campus Planning Office now intends to complete the project in a single phase. The pre-design and design work has been funded by a $1.9M capital request in the 2013 Legislative session. A capital request for core and shell construction was funded by the Legislature at $16M. The UW Tacoma funded the interior design and construction at $10.1M from UW Tacoma Reserves.

The architect is the Miller Hull Partnership, located in Seattle. Mortenson Construction, located in Kirkland, Washington, is the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY

Schedule Variance The schedule has been revised based on the building being vacated before January 2016. Work Accomplished This Period The project team reached an agreement with the city of Tacoma for a two phased permit process. This will allow for construction to start in January, as soon as the tenant has fully vacated. The design team released 30% construction documents for core and shell and 100% design development documents for interiors. This document set incorporated additional research laboratories requested by UWT. The GCCM is revising the estimate and updating the cost log to ensure the project scope remains within budget.


79

UW Tacoma Facilities and Environmental Health and Safety reviewed the documents in an ‘over the shoulder’ review meeting. The commissioning agent, EEI, also reviewed and commented on the latest design documents. The focus for the second half of October was to prepare documents for submission for the phase 1 permit, as well as the final approval meeting for the City of Tacoma Landmarks Commission. Plans for Next 30 Days The team will submit documents to the City of Tacoma for the phase 1 permit and will respond to permit review comments in mid-November. The team will also submit documentation for final design approval to City of Tacoma Landmarks Commission and is on the agenda for the commission meeting on November 18. The project team will rectify the cost estimate with the project budget by identifying cost saving measures to ensure the project achieves the best value. A meeting with UW Tacoma is scheduled for November 10 to review these options. The GCCM team is preparing site logistic plans for review by UW Tacoma and the team will plan for construction mobilization. The project team will meet with the commissioning agent on November 17 to address design comments and plan for commissioning. The design for the phase 2 permit will continue. The goal is to submit for the phase 2 permit in mid January, 2016. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The total project budget is $28,000,000. The Board of Regents approved the budget on September 10, 2015. $1,900,000 was appropriated by the Legislature in the 2013-2015 budget for predesign and design of the core and shell. $16,000,000 has been appropriated by the Legislature in the 2015-2017 budget for construction of the core and shell. $10,100,000 has been appropriated from UW Tacoma Reserves in 2015 to complete the design and construction of the interior.

CHANGES IN SCOPE The team is working to incorporate research laboratories into the building without increasing the budget. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS Not applicable at this time. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The project offers the chance to complete the major renovation of UW Tacoma’s warehouse building stock and fill in a ‘missing tooth’ in the heart of the campus. The building has a number of infrastructure challenges to overcome. There is also known contaminated soil within the footprint of the building and economically addressing that issue is an additional challenge. The predesign provided a strong foundation moving forward. Now that the Prairie Line Trail is completed, the design team is also able to envision how the new Urban Solutions Center will tie into the Trail.

West Campus Utility Plant Project #204685

October 2015 Project Manager: Steve Harrison

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This current project includes a building of approximately 17,000 gross square feet (GSF) containing generators, chillers, cooling towers, and associated equipment. The building will be constructed above the existing campus utility tunnel, allowing direct access to the tunnel for distribution of electrical cabling and chilled water (CW) piping. When fully built out, the plant will have capacity to produce 12 megawatts (MW) of emergency power and 10,500 tons of CW. In phase 1 the construction of the building will be complete as well as the installation of equipment to produce 6 MW and 3,000 tons of CW. This phase will also provide space and infrastructure for the future full equipment build-out, and run distribution systems to the south campus. The emergency power and CW will be distributed to the tunnel intersection vault SW-1, at which point the ARCF project will pick up those services for connection and distribution within the facility and to the existing distribution lines nearby. The West Campus Utility Plant (WCUP) is envisioned to be an architecturally significant building, given its prominent location on the west campus. The careful attention given will ensure that the design fits contextually with the surrounding community and is representative of its importance as a gateway building at the southwest approach to the campus. The design will incorporate a demonstration

display element that will enable access by students and the public to gain an understanding of the University’s commitment to the environment and energy conservation. The Board of Regents authorized the use of the design-build (D-B) contracting method for this project. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance None this period. Work Accomplished This Period The installation of the new chilled-water distribution system piping continued. Accessible portions of the supply pipe have been ongoing, but demolition of existing lines and start on the return line had to wait until mid-October. The necessary shutdowns for most of the work were accomplished and good progress was made on demolition of the existing lines. The submittal process for equipment aimed at the plant began in earnest. The electrical work in the adjacent alley, which is by others and on which the start of plant construction depends, was partially completed. The

design and permitting tasks were also ongoing or completed during October. The final coordinated design build drawings were published and the sequences-of-operation for the plant mechanical and power-generation/electrical systems were advanced along with further details and some equipment selection for controls. The MUP and the building permit reviews by the City were tracked and facilitated. The University commitments regarding alley dedications and the recording of Rights-of-way were completed or advanced, and University-contracted services necessary for construction such as geotech, testing, and dispute resolution professionals were retained. The procurement efforts and construction-logistics planning were ongoing and continue. Plans for Next 30 Days The distribution system pipeline installation will continue. The MUP and Building Permits will be issued. The preparations for plant construction will continue, and at some point construction of the plant will begin. The detailed work on the system controls will continue and the professional firms will begin their construction administration duties. A handful of change orders will be advanced and possibly executed including 4 scopes of work that were originally envisioned to be part of the future phases of the WCUP. The associated distribution systems upgrades or represent utility upgrades generated by the spatial conflict between the West CUP improvements and power cables to safely move out of the way. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview There is no change to the project budget. However, the Design Builder’s scope of work will be modified in November to include switchgear, and associated electrical equipment build-out originally envisioned as part of Phase 2 of the CUP development. The replacement of normal power feeder cables that cannot be otherwise modified due to safety concerns will also be added. This added work can be most cost-effectively delivered by the West CUP project, and additional funding from other UW sources will be provided to cover the cost. The cost of the additional scope of work is carried in other project budgets and is not included in the budget forecast below. The current approved budget is $36.2 million. The increase from the original project budget of $30.5 million was approved by the Board of Regents at the March 2015 meeting. Adding a number of identified scope enhancements will provide flexibility for the future by increasing the building footprint, a partial basement and equipment enhancements. This increase will better allow the facility to respond to potential future sustainability initiatives such as thermal storage, lake water cooling and campus system conversion from steam to hot water.


84

CHANGES IN SCOPE An increase in mechanical and electrical scopes is anticipated within the next 30 days. This is the primarily ‘accelerated Phase 2 scope’, see discussion above. An increase in the chilled water distribution system (pipeline) scope is also anticipated, but not for several months. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The budget risks generally associated with assuring quality and completeness in the constructed product under a design-build delivery system while market costs are escalating are beginning to emerge. However, the collaborative design effort has effectively controlled them to date. The ‘accelerated Phase 2’ scopes of work discussed above are important opportunities in that they have the capacity to save money in other projects and in regard to future plant and distribution build out. The previously identified risk associated with work by another UW project in the alley adjacent to the WCUP site, which involves the undergrounding of power lines, still exists. The work in general is advancing at an acceptable rate, but there is a nexus with, and reliance on, Seattle City Light that could delay some of the earliest tasks of construction if SCL is unresponsive.
